Changing the way a plant forms cellulose may lead to more efficient, less expensive biofuel production, according to Penn State engineers. ... Changing Cellulose-Forming Process May Tap Plants' ...

Anaerobic bacteria were among the first life forms on Earth and existed at a time when there was no oxygen in the atmosphere.

Using bacteria that produce cellulose as a model to test the process, the researchers discovered an approach for modifying cellulose synthesis in living plants for improved biofuel-making efficiency.

- Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds.   - The regeneration process requires the ...
